Score by player now includes an arrow to indicate the result of the previous rally. The arrow points from the box of the server from the previous serve to the position where that player is now. Hence if the arrow is to a receiving position, then it was a handout.
There is a new option for smart server side selection catering for left handers.
Bug fixes.

See detailed description for further info

To swap server sides either tap on the greyed out squash ball or fling the ball from one side towards the other.

The Squash Scorer app now has an optional “Smart Handout Side Selection” setting. When this setting is enabled, following a handout, the app will automatically start a player on their preferred serving side. The preferred serving side is the side they last started serving from.

The Squash Scorer app uses a toast message to indicate that a server change of sides was unexpected. This should make it obvious when this happens accidentally but wont stop it from happening intentionally to reflect the gameplay where it happens and isn’t stopped. Lower grades see quite a bit of this in my experience.
